【敏感肌的日常保養五守則:比你想的還簡單!】

[Five daily care tips for sensitive skin: Easier than you think!]

Do you look in the mirror every day and see skin that's red, itchy, or stings when you apply skincare products? Do you also wonder, "What am I doing wrong?"

Sensitive skin isn't always a natural trait; it's often the result of improper skincare. You don't need to overload on skincare products or apply a thick layer of skincare. Just follow these five steps and your skin will gradually stabilize.

Rule 1: Choose products with simple ingredients and no fragrance

Although fragrances, alcohol, essential oils, etc. make skincare products smell good and feel "good", they can be irritants to sensitive skin.
Please develop the habit of "looking at the ingredients" and give priority to:

  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free
  • Contains soothing and repairing ingredients such as ceramide, B5, and Centella asiatica
  • A few active ingredients, not a dozen complex blends

Rule 2: Avoid excessive cleaning and maintenance

Washing your face for too long, exfoliating too frequently, and applying too many layers of skincare products can actually damage your skin barrier .

Remember: the more sensitive your skin is, the more "less is more" .
suggestion:

  • Wash your face twice a day with warm water and gently press without rubbing.
  • Exfoliate less than once a week, or even not at all
  • The number of maintenance layers should be controlled within 2-3 layers (toner + essence or lotion)

Rule 3: Pay attention to moisturizing, but it doesn’t have to be heavy

Moisturizing is key for sensitive skin, but it doesn’t mean “applying thickly will be effective”.
Good moisturizing should keep the moisture in the skin, not float on the surface .

The ideal order is: toner (hydration) → essence (enhanced absorption) → lotion or cream (locking in moisture)

If your skin is oily, just use toner + lotion; if it is dry, you can add a layer of moisturizer.

Rule 4: Sun protection is part of skin care, please do it every day

Many people believe that sensitive skin shouldn't use sunscreen due to the risk of irritation. However, UV rays are the real culprit behind redness and aging .

Recommended options:

  • Mainly physical sunscreens (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide)
  • Fragrance-free, alcohol-free sunscreen for sensitive skin
  • Can be used with a hat or parasol to reduce the burden

Rule 5: Observe changes and establish your own maintenance rhythm

Everyone's skin condition is different and changes with the seasons, stress, and diet.
Instead of blindly imitating other people's skin care steps, it is better to establish your own skin rhythm.

  • Which product caused the redness? Write it down.
  • When do you feel comfortable after maintenance? Continue to observe
  • When your skin is in good condition, reducing maintenance is also a kind of care

Conclusion

Sensitive skin isn't a problem skin type; it's skin that requires understanding and patience. When you stop chasing quick results and instead take a step-by-step approach to caring for your skin, the redness, stinging, and discomfort will gradually fade away.

Gentleness and sensitivity are our beliefs.
